THE EARLIEST OBTAINABLE AUTHENTIC MAP WITH THE PLACE NAME AMERICA. Apianus's striking truncated cordiform projection of the world is derived from Waldseemüller's monumental 1507 wall map and first appeared in the 1520 Viennese edition of Solinus's Polyhistor. The lengthy title acknowledges the discoveries of Amerigo Vespucci, and two wreaths set in the lower corners recognize with monograms Apianus's collaborators: "L.F." for Laurent Fries, a draughtsman, woodcutter, and significant mapmaker in his own right; "J.K." for Johann Kamers (Johannes Camertius), the publisher; and "L.A." for Luca Alantses, who paid for the production of the map.
